16.3 DHCP Table Screen
DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients
to obtain TCP/IP confi guration at start-up from a server. You can confi gure the WR1500 Wire-
less Router as a DHCP server or disable it. When confi gured as a server, the WR1500 Wireless
Router provides the TCP/IP confi guration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service will be
disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be
manually confi gured.

assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry standard that ensures no other
adapter has a similar address.
